INTRODUCTION

This Eurobarometer survey on the environment comes three years after the previous

report on the subject, and there is no indication that Europeans’ concern about

environmental issues has diminished in that time.

The most acute concerns relate to pollution of both air and water, the amount of waste

that is generated in the EU, and the depletion of natural resources. The impact on health

of chemicals used in everyday life is also a source of serious concern. Meanwhile,

problems such as species loss and deforestation – even in places far distant from Europe

– continue to be big issues for many citizens of EU Member States.

The financial crisis, from which Europe appears to be slowly and partially emerging, did

not reduce the focus of European citizens on environmental issues. In fact, using

resources more efficiently for cost, as well as environmental, reasons has only become

more important as a result.

To help address the environmental problems facing Europe and the world, the EU's

Europe 2020 strategy contains critical environmental objectives, as well as a

commitment to sustainability. In particular, the strategy's flagship initiative of

engendering a resource-efficient Europe supports a shift towards a low-carbon, low-

impact economy.

To inform this process, and assist the European Commission in delivering the

environmental goals of Europe 2020, this survey examines citizens’ impressions of the

environment and environmental problems, and asks people how they think these issues

might be addressed.

They were first asked whether the environment and its protection are important issues in

general, and about the environmental problems which most impact their own lives.

The extent to which Europeans feel they themselves can help protect the environment is

addressed next, as respondents were asked what kind of green measures they already

take.

The amount and trustworthiness of information they receive about the environment is

the next issue which the respondents addressed, before the focus turns to the perceived

links between the environment and the economy.

The question of where responsibility should lie for repairing environmental damage and

doing more to protect the environment is examined next, before the final section of the

report looks at the types of actions which Europeans would like to see in order to

promote environmental protection.

This survey was carried out by TNS Opinion & Social network in the 28 Member States of

the European Union between the 26th of April and the 11th of May 2014. Some 27,998

respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed face-to-face

at home in their mother tongue on behalf of the Directorate-General for Environment.

The methodology used is that of Eurobarometer surveys as carried out by the

Directorate-General for Communication (“Strategy, Corporate Communication Actions

and Eurobarometer” Unit)1. A technical note on the manner in which interviews were

conducted by the Institutes within the TNS Opinion & Social network is appended as an

annex to this report. Also included are the interview methods and confidence intervals2.

Note: In this report, countries are referred to by their official abbreviation. The

abbreviations used in this report correspond to:

* Cyprus as a whole is one of the 28 European Union Member States. However, the ‘acquis communautaire’ has

been suspended in the part of the country which is not controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus.

For practical reasons, only the interviews carried out in the part of the country controlled by the government of

the Republic of Cyprus are included in the ‘CY’ category and in the EU28 average.

MAIN FINDINGS

General attitudes of Europeans towards the environment

Almost all Europeans say that protecting the environment is important to them

personally, and over half say it is very important.

Half or more of Europeans say that they are worried about air pollution and water

pollution, while over four in ten are worried about the impact on health from

chemicals in everyday products and the growing amount of waste.

Over three-quarters of respondents feel that environmental problems have a

direct effect on their daily lives.

Behaviour and priorities regarding the environment

85% of people believe they can play a role in protecting the environment.

A majority of Europeans separate waste for recycling, and cut down on energy

consumption.

However, the proportion of people who separate waste for recycling varies

considerably from country to country, from 92% in Luxembourg and Slovenia, to

23% in Bulgaria.

Europeans consider the sorting of waste for recycling, the reduction of home

energy consumption, and the use of public transport to be the main priorities for

protecting the environment.

Three-quarters of Europeans are willing to pay a little more for environmentally-

friendly products, up from 72% in 2011.

Information on environmental issues is increasingly available in the EU

Over six out of ten respondents say they feel well-informed about environmental

issues, and a majority feel well-informed in all countries except the Czech

Republic.

The impact on health of chemicals used in everyday products is the issue most

people would like more information about.

Television remains the main source of information about environmental issues,

but the proportion of respondents who rely on it is declining, from 72% in 2011 to

65%. Social media and the Internet are the second most-used source, and the

proportion of those who rely on them is up from 30% to 41%.

Scientists, environmental protection agencies and television are the most trusted

sources of environmental information.


7

For most Europeans, environmental issues have a direct impact on their daily

life and on the economy

Three-quarters of people think that the state of the environment influences their

quality of life, slightly fewer than think it is influenced by the economy, but more

than think it is influenced by social factors.

Around three-quarters of Europeans say that the protection of the environment

can boost economic growth.

About four-fifths of respondents believe that the efficient use of natural resources

can boost economic growth.

Environmental criteria, along with social and economic criteria, should all be used

to judge national progress, most people think.

A shared responsibility in protecting the environment

Over three-quarters of respondents feel that big companies and industry are not

doing enough to protect the environment.

Roughly two-thirds of people think that their national government and citizens

themselves are also not doing enough.

Over half of Europeans think the EU is not doing enough to protect the

environment.

The proportion of people who think that citizens themselves are doing about the

right amount has risen substantially in many countries since 2011.

About six out of ten people think that public authorities should favour

environmentally-friendly considerations over cost considerations; only a fifth

would put cost considerations first.

Almost all Europeans agree that the big polluters have primary responsibility for

repairing the damage they cause.

Introducing heavier fines for offenders and ensuring higher financial incentives for

protecting the environment are seen as the most effective ways to tackle

environmental problems.

Europeans favour action at EU level to protect the environment

Six out of ten respondents believe that environmental decisions should be taken

jointly between national governments and the EU.

In 23 countries, a majority of respondents think that environmental decisions

should be taken jointly.

At least three-quarters of respondents agree that:


8

o European environmental legislation is necessary for protecting the

environment in their country.

o The EU should be able to check that environmental laws are being applied

correctly in their country.

o The EU should assist non-EU countries to improve their environmental

standards.

o More EU funding should be allocated to supporting environmentally-friendly

activities.

I. GENERAL ATTITUDES OF EUROPEANS TOWARDS THE

ENVIRONMENT

The opening chapter of the report introduces the discussion by establishing how

important Europeans consider environmental protection to be. The respondents are then

asked to identify their main environmental concerns, before considering whether

environmental problems have a direct effect on ordinary people’s lives.

1. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REMAINS IMPORTANT FOR EUROPEANS

- Almost all Europeans say that protecting the environment is important to

them personally -

When asked to consider how important protecting the environment is to respondents

personally, the view of Europeans continues to be overwhelmingly positive. 95% of

citizens questioned consider that protecting the environment is important to them

personally. Only 5% do not regard it as important.

There is a continuing broadly-felt and strong consensus on the importance of

environmental protection in the European Union. Compared with the 2011 survey, there

is a slight change of emphasis, in that 53% of Europeans (-4 percentage points since

2011) now believe that it is very important to them, and 42% (+5pp) believe it is fairly

important.


10

When looking at national results, the personal belief that protecting the environment is

important ranges from 100% in Sweden and 99% in Malta and Slovenia, to 91% in

Romania, Poland and Austria.

The feeling that protecting the environment is important overall has grown most

significantly in the Netherlands (97%, +4 pp), and has declined the most in Bulgaria

(94%, -4 pp).


11

In most socio-demographic groups there is relatively little deviation from the European

average. However, the 95% EU-level figure falls to 91% for those aged 15 and under,

and to 92% both for those who completed their education by the age of 15, and also for

those who have difficulty paying bills most of the time.

2. MAIN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

- Air pollution and water pollution are the environmental issues which

Europeans worry about the most -

This section considers environmental issues that are most worrying for European

citizens3.

Overall, the most common responses relate to pollution, waste generation and depletion

of natural resources. Indeed, half or more of the respondents say that they are worried

about air pollution (56%) and water pollution (50%). Over four out of ten people are

worried about the impact on health of chemicals used in everyday products (43%) and

about the growing amount of waste (43%), while more than a third are worried about

the depletion of natural resources (36%).

In comparison, relatively few Europeans say that they are worried about noise pollution

or land take (both 15%), soil degradation (13%), or the spread of harmful non-native

species (11%).

3 QA2: It should be noted that the total of the percentages may exceed 100%, since the respondent had the

possibility of giving several answers to the question.


12

For this question, the list and number of concerns presented to the respondents has been

modified from the previous survey. For this reason, results are not strictly comparable.

However, it can be noted that, following the omission of man-made disasters and climate

change from this question, the five principal concerns are still the same. In 2011,

however, water pollution (41%) exceeded air pollution (36%) in overall European

responses.


13

At individual country level, people in Hungary (68%), Finland and Portugal (both 66%)

are the most worried about air pollution, while those in Ireland and Estonia (both

47%), and Latvia and Germany (both 49%), are the least worried.


14

When it comes to water pollution (the second most common concern at European

level), Finland (67%), Greece (64%), Sweden (64%) and Latvia (61%) have the highest

proportions of people who say they are worried about this, while Poland (37%), the

United Kingdom (39%) and Malta (40%) have the lowest.

The growing amount of waste worries a relatively high proportion of respondents in

the Czech Republic (61%), Hungary (59%), Finland (57%), Croatia (55%) and Slovakia

(55%). At the other end of the scale, less than a third of people say they are worried

about this in Spain (30%) and the Netherlands (32%).


15

The impact of chemicals on health is of highest concern in Lithuania (63%), Sweden

(61%) and Cyprus (58%), while people in Portugal (26%) are the least worried about

this. Depletion of natural resources is of most concern in the Netherlands (52%) and

France (47%), and least in Malta (15%) and Lithuania (19%).

Within the issues that received responses of less than 30% in Europe as a whole, there

was particular concern expressed for agricultural pollution in Greece (42%) and

Slovenia (40%), and for shortage of drinking water in Cyprus (55%), Portugal (48%),

Slovakia (47%) and Denmark (45%). Loss of species and habitats and “our

consumption habits” were both of high concern in Sweden (50% and 42%,

respectively), while the highest concern for urban problems was expressed in Malta

(46%).


16

The socio-demographic data show that women are more likely than men

(45% vs. 40%) to worry about the impact on our health of chemicals used in everyday

products and the growing amount of waste (46% vs. 41%).

Age is also a differentiating factor. Older respondents are more likely to be worried

about agricultural pollution (32% of people aged 55 and over vs. 21% of those aged 15-

24) and the impact of chemicals in everyday products (44% vs. 38%), whereas 15-24

year-olds are more likely to feel worried about air pollution (59% vs. 54% of people aged

40 and over), and about urban problems (29% vs. 20% of people aged 55 and over).

In many cases, respondents with a higher level of education are the most worried

about the environmental issues under consideration. For example, 46% of people who

finished their education aged 20 and over are worried about the impact on our health of

chemicals used in everyday products, compared with 39% of those who left school aged

15 or under.

People who say that protecting the environment is important to them personally are,

unsurprisingly, more likely to say that they are worried about most of the various

environmental problems. For example, 45% of people who say that protecting the

environment is very important are worried about the impact on our health of chemicals

used in everyday products, as opposed to just 27% of those who do not feel that

protecting the environment is important.


17

3. ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS HAVE A DIRECT EFFECT ON EUROPEANS’

DAILY LIFE

- Over three-quarters of respondents feel that environmental problems

have an impact on their daily lives -

Over three-quarters of Europeans agree that environmental problems have a direct effect

on their daily lives (77%). The result is much the same as in 2011, when 76% were in

agreement. Of these, 35% totally agree that environmental problems have a direct effect

on their daily lives, and 42% tend to agree.

Conversely, a fifth of respondents (20%, -3pp since 2011) do not agree that

environmental problems have a direct effect on their daily lives. Of these, 16% tend to

disagree and 4% totally disagree.

Cyprus (95%), Greece (93%) and Malta (90%) have the highest proportions of

respondents who agree that environmental issues have a direct effect on their daily life.

In contrast, the level of agreement is lowest among people in Denmark (56%), Austria,

the Netherlands (both 66%), Belgium (67%) and Germany (68%).

There have been substantial changes at country level on this question since 2011. A

higher proportion of respondents now agree that environmental issues have a direct

effect on their daily life in Luxembourg (79%, +18pp), Sweden (75%, +15pp), Portugal

(86%, +11pp), Slovenia (86%, +9pp) and the UK (78%, +9pp). Meanwhile, there were

declines in several Member States, most notably in Romania (82%, -9pp), Ireland (79%,

-7pp), Poland (73%, -6pp) and Austria (66%, -6pp).


18

According to the socio-demographic data, people in the 40-54 age group are the most

likely to agree that environmental issues have a direct effect on their daily life (80%),

while 15-25 year-olds are the least likely to agree (71%).

While 81% of people who finished their education aged 20 and over agree that

environmental issues have a direct effect on their daily life, this proportion falls to 75%

for those who left school aged 15 or under.

Self-employed respondents and managers are the most likely to agree that

environmental issues have a direct effect on their daily life (83% and 81%, respectively),

while students (73%) are the least likely to agree.


19

Respondents who live in large towns are also more inclined to agree than those who live

in rural villages, by a margin of 81% to 74%.

People who say that protecting the environment is important to them personally are

again, unsurprisingly, more likely to agree than those who do not consider it important

(72-85% vs. 38%). Respondents who argue that protecting the environment boosts

growth (84%) are also more likely to say that environmental issues have a direct effect

on their daily life than those who do not think it boosts growth (60%).


20

II. BEHAVIOUR AND PRIORITIES REGARDING THE

ENVIRONMENT

Having established the importance of environmental issues in the first chapter, the

discussion now shifts to the question of whether European citizens have a role to play in

addressing them.

In addition to assessing whether ordinary citizens feel they can play a role, the survey

looks here at what environmentally-friendly measures people already take. It also asks

what the main priorities should be in terms of solving environmental problems, and

whether people would be willing to pay more for environmentally-friendly products.

1. EUROPEANS BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN ALSO PLAY A ROLE IN PROTECTING

THE ENVIRONMENT

- 85% of Europeans believe they can play a role in protecting the environment -

Respondents were asked to what extent they agreed or disagreed with the statement “As

an individual, you can play a role in protecting the environment in (your country)”.

Over eight out of ten Europeans (85%, -2pp compared to 2011) agree that they can play

a role; of these, 43% totally agree with the statement, and 42% tend to agree. Just 13%

disagree (+1pp), with 10% tending to disagree, and 3% totally disagreeing.


21

At individual country level, 96% of respondents in Malta, Ireland and the Netherlands

believe they can play a role in protecting the environment, as do 95% in Sweden.

The lowest levels of agreement are in the Czech Republic (73%), Hungary and Finland

(both 74%), Poland (75%), Estonia (76%), Latvia (77%) and Austria (79%).

There have been some substantial changes at country level since 2011. Significantly

more people now agree that they can play a role in protecting the environment in

Slovenia (88%, +10pp) and Portugal (86%, +7pp). However, there have been noticeable

falls in Hungary (74%, -8pp), Romania (82%,-7pp), Austria (79%, -6pp) and Poland

(75%, -5pp).


22

The socio-demographic data show that more women than men (45% vs. 40%) totally

agree that they can play a role in protecting the environment. Age also appears as a

differentiating factor: 39% of those aged 15-24 are in total agreement, compared with

46% of respondents aged 40-54.

Educational background and work activity also illustrate some differences: 79% of

respondents who left education at age 15 or below are in overall agreement, compared

with 88% of those educated to age 20 or above. 91% of managers are in agreement, but

only 80% of retired respondents.

Additionally, 79% of respondents who consider themselves to be low on the social

staircase agree, compared with 88% of those considering themselves to be high.

People who believe that protecting the environment is very important to them are, again,

more likely to agree (90%) that they can play a role in protecting the environment,

whereas only 53% agree of those who think protecting the environment is not important.


23

2. MOST EUROPEANS TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

- Three-quarters of Europeans separate most of their waste for recycling -

Respondents were asked to describe the kind of environmental activities they had

undertaken in the last month4. The findings are that Europeans continue to adopt

environmentally-friendly actions and behaviour.

Separation of waste for recycling (72%, +6pp compared to 2011), cutting down energy

consumption (52%, -1pp), and cutting down water consumption (37%, -5pp) were the

three most common activities.

Roughly a third of respondents also chose a more environmentally-friendly way of

travelling (35%, +5pp), chose local products (35%, +6pp), or reduced waste

(33%, -4pp).

Around a fifth of people bought environmentally-friendly products (21%, +3pp), or used

their car less (20%, unchanged).

It is noteworthy that the percentage of respondents stating they undertook “None” of the

activities declined to 4%, down from 6% in 2011 and 9% in 2007.

In several Member States the activity of separating most waste for recycling is

particularly common. Over 80% of respondents stated this in Slovenia (92%),

Luxembourg (92%), Sweden (86%), Ireland (84%), France (82%), Belgium and Malta

(both 81%), whereas fewer than half did so in Bulgaria (23%), Romania (33%), Latvia

(39%) and Croatia (49%).


possibility of giving several answers to the question. Please note that the wording has been slightly modified since the last wave in 2011 on the two following elements: “Reduced waste e.g. by avoiding over-packaged products and buying products with a longer life” has replaced “Reduced the consumption of disposable items (plastic bags, certain kinds of packaging, etc.)” and “Cut down your water consumption” has replaced “Cut down your water consumption (e.g. not leaving water running when washing the dishes or taking a shower, etc.)”


24

Except in Estonia, where the proportion of respondents separating most of their waste for

recycling decreased (56%,-6pp), there is a general and often substantial increase in

respondents engaging in this activity in most countries. Countries reporting increases in

double figure percentages were Lithuania (62%, +20pp), Poland (69%, +15pp), Slovenia

(92%, +13pp), Greece (60%, +13pp), Slovakia (78%, +13pp), Latvia (39%, +11pp),

Cyprus (67%, +10pp), Hungary (64%, +10pp) and Romania (33%, +10pp).

The second most common activity for Europeans was cutting down on energy

consumption. Respondents particularly favoured this in Malta, Cyprus and Luxembourg

(all 65%), and in Spain (63%). At the other end of the scale, fewer than four in ten

respondents mentioned this measure in Estonia (33%), Romania and Croatia

(both 34%), Lithuania and Slovakia (both 35%), Poland (38%), and Bulgaria (39%).

Significant increases in the proportion of respondents who have been cutting down on

their energy use since 2011 were reported in Spain (63%, +10pp), Luxembourg (65%,

+8pp), Portugal (60%, +8pp) and the Netherlands (57%, +5pp).


25

However, substantial declines occurred in Slovenia (46%, -18pp), Hungary (46%, -

17pp), Bulgaria (39%, -16pp), Estonia (33%, -14pp), Slovakia (35%, -14pp), Czech

Republic (43%, -14pp), Austria (48%, -12pp), Sweden (52%, -12pp), Romania (34%, -

11pp), Denmark (53%, -10pp), Malta (65%, -10pp) and Latvia (40%, -9pp).

Over half of respondents cut down their water consumption in Portugal (63%), Spain

(55%), Luxembourg (54%) and Malta (52%). But at the other end of the scale only 18%

of respondents in Sweden and Estonia took this step.

While Portugal (63%, +18pp) recorded a substantial increase in the proportion of

respondents who reduced their water consumption, there was a contrasting picture

in most other countries, with substantial declines occurring in many cases. Examples of

this trend include Bulgaria (26%, -17pp), Estonia (18%, -15pp), Germany (34%, -14pp),

Lithuania (21%, -14pp) and Cyprus (48%, -13pp).


26

Sweden (60%) has the highest proportion of respondents who say they chose a more

environmentally-friendly way of travelling, followed by Austria (55%) and the

Netherlands (53%). Fewest people did this in Italy (19%), Cyprus (21%), Bulgaria

(26%) and Ireland (27%). However, in most Member States there was a substantial

increase in the proportion of respondents who chose a more environmentally-friendly

way of travelling, notably in Austria (55%, +21pp), Spain (40%, +17pp), Estonia (42%,

+15pp) and Portugal (25%, +15pp).

Choosing local products was a relatively common thing to do for environmental

reasons in Austria (61%), Latvia (60%), Sweden (53%) and Malta (50%). In contrast,

fewest people did this in Poland (14%), the Netherlands (18%) and Croatia (19%). Since

2011, there has been an increase in most countries in the proportion of respondents who

choose local products, with the biggest changes occurring in France (46%, +16pp),

Bulgaria (36%, +14pp), Latvia (60%, +13pp), Lithuania (40%, +13pp) and Finland

(46%, +13pp).

Reducing waste was most common among respondents in Germany (52%), Austria

(49%) and Belgium (44%), but least common among those in Bulgaria (15%) and

Portugal (18%). While Germany (52%, +10pp) recorded a substantial increase in the

proportion of respondents who did this, most countries recorded the opposite trend, with

particularly large declines in Slovenia (28%, -24pp), Italy (27%, -17pp) and the

Netherlands (24%, -14pp).

An exceptionally high proportion of people in Sweden (60%) say they bought

environmentally-friendly products, as did relatively high numbers of people in

Denmark (48%) and Luxembourg (40%). Austria (44%, +13pp), Sweden (60%, +10pp)

and Denmark (48%, +9pp) recorded the biggest changes compared to 2011.

The Netherlands (33%) had the most respondents who reduced their car use for

environmental reasons, followed by Sweden (30%), Luxembourg (29%) and Finland

(27%), whereas only 9% of respondents took this measure in Poland and Romania.

Spain (24%, +7pp) recorded the largest increase on this point, while Sweden (30%,

-6pp) saw the largest decline.

The socio-demographic data show that women are somewhat more likely than men to

have taken environmentally-friendly measures. For example, 36% of women reduced

waste, compared with 30% of men.

Young respondents are more likely to say that they chose a more environmentally-

friendly way of travelling, but in most other cases people in the 40-54 age group are the

most likely to have taken environmentally-friendly measures. For example, 75% of those

aged 40 and over separated most of their waste for recycling, compared with 63% of 15-

24 year-olds.

Education is also an important factor, with those who left education aged 20 or above the

most likely to have taken steps such as choosing a more environmentally-friendly way of

travelling (41%, vs. 25% of those who left school aged 15 or under).

People who almost never have difficulty paying their bills are more likely to have done

the various things under discussion than those who have difficulty most of the time.

3. EUROPEANS BELIEVE THAT SORTING WASTE, REDUCING THEIR OWN

ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT SHOULD BE TOP

PRIORITIES FOR CITIZENS IN TERMS OF PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

- Europeans consider the sorting of waste for recycling, the reduction of

home energy consumption, and the use of public transport to be the main

priorities for protecting the environment -

A majority of Europeans (54%) say that the sorting of waste for recycling should be a

top-three priority in the daily lives of people in their country to protect the environment5.

The second and third most important priorities are the reduction of home energy

consumption (39%), and using public transport (also 39%).

A third of respondents mention reducing food waste (33%), while less than a quarter

identify reducing packaging waste (24%), purchasing more local products (22%) and

environmentally-friendly products (22%) as priorities.

Relatively few respondents mention reducing home water consumption (14%), replacing

their car with a more energy-efficient model (13%), or considering environmental

aspects of large purchases (11%).

For this question, the list and number of priorities presented to respondents has been

modified compared to the 2011 survey. For this reason, results are not strictly

comparable. However, it can be noted that the top three choices are the same, though

percentages have changed.




30

The following map shows the country-level responses for the answer “sorting waste for

recycling”, and reveals no clear geographical separation.

Two-thirds or more of respondents say this should be a priority in the Czech Republic

(73%), Slovakia (70%), Portugal (69%) and Slovenia (66%).

However, less than half of respondents see this as a priority in Bulgaria (40%), the UK

(44%), Austria (47%), Denmark (47%), Germany (48%) and Romania (48%).


31

The sorting of waste so that it can be recycled is the top answer in all but four Member

States. The exceptions are: Cyprus, where reducing home energy consumption is the top

answer (61%); Spain and Sweden, where using public transport is seen as the main

priority (59% and 56%, respectively); and the UK, where reducing food waste is the

number-one priority (45%).


32

The socio-demographic results show that 15-24 year-olds are the most likely to

regard the use of public transport as a priority (48% vs. 37-38% for older respondents),

but the least likely to mention reducing food waste (28% vs. 33-34%) or the buying of

local products (17% vs. 22-23%).

Respondents with a higher level of education are more likely to prioritise certain

activities, especially reducing food waste (37% vs. 28% for those who are 15 or below).

Self-employed respondents (32%) are the least likely to identify the use of public

transport as a priority. However, self-employed people (26%) are the most likely to

mention the purchase of environmentally-friendly products, with unemployed people

(18%) the least likely to do this.

People who live in large towns are more likely to recommend prioritising the use of public

transport than those in rural villages, by a margin of 46% to 35%.


33

4. A LARGE MAJORITY OF EUROPEANS ARE PREPARED TO PAY MORE FOR

ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS

Three-quarters of Europeans are willing to pay a little more for

environmentally-friendly products -

Respondents were then asked whether they would be willing to buy environmentally-

friendly products, even if it costs a little more to do so. Three-quarters of respondents

(75%, +3pp compared to 2011) agree that they would be willing to do this; of these,

28% agree totally with the statement, and 47% tend to agree. Over a fifth of

respondents (23%, -2pp) would not be willing to do this, with 16% tending to disagree,

and 7% totally disagreeing.


34

In all Member States, more than 60% of respondents are willing to pay more for

environmentally-friendly products. At least eight out of ten respondents would be willing

to do this in Sweden (94%), Malta (91%), Finland (88%), Denmark (87%), Luxembourg

(86%), Austria (83%), Cyprus (82%), the United Kingdom (82%), Belgium, Slovenia and

Germany (all 80%). Portugal and Bulgaria (62%) have the lowest proportions of people

who would be willing to do this.

The largest increases in the proportion of respondents prepared to pay a little more

occurred in Slovakia (76%, +14pp), Spain (73%, +13pp), Latvia (78%, +10pp) and

Romania (75%, +10pp). Only Italy (67%, -8pp) has recorded a substantial fall on this

question since 2011.


35

A socio-demographic analysis shows that education is an important factor here, with

those who left education at age 20 or over more likely than those who left at 15 or under

to be willing to pay more for environmentally-friendly products, by a margin of 85% to

64%.

89% of managers agree that they are willing to pay more, compared with 69% of house

persons and unemployed respondents. And while only 63% of respondents who consider

themselves to be low on the social staircase are willing to pay a little more, this rises to

84% among those considering themselves to be high on the social staircase.

People who say that protecting the environment is very important to them (83%) are far

more likely to be willing to pay more for environmentally-friendly products than those

who think protecting the environment is not important (32%).


36

III. INFORMATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IS

INCREASINGLY AVAILABLE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

The third section of the report addresses the question of whether Europeans consider

themselves to be well-informed about environmental issues.

As well as establishing whether or not respondents feel well-informed, the survey asks

them to consider if they lack information about certain issues. Respondents are then

asked to discuss which sources of information they use, and which they trust, when it

comes to obtaining information about the environment.

1. MORE EUROPEANS FEEL WELL-INFORMED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT IN

GENERAL

- A majority of respondents in all Member States, except for the Czech Republic,

feel well-informed about environmental issues -

Respondents were asked whether they feel well, or badly, informed about environmental

issues.

Over six out of ten respondents (62%) say they feel well-informed about these issues, an

increase on the 60% who said this in 2011. Conversely, 37% feel badly informed (-1pp),

of which 31% feel fairly badly informed and 6% very badly informed.


37

In all but one Member State, a majority of people say that they feel well-informed about

environmental issues. The proportion of respondents who take this view is highest in

Finland (83%), Slovenia (82%), Sweden (82%) and Denmark (81%). Only in the Czech

Republic does a majority (51%) feel badly informed, compared with 48% who feel well-

informed.

In most countries, there has been an increase since 2011 in the proportion of

respondents who feel well-informed about environmental issues, with the biggest positive

changes happening in Portugal (65%, +19pp), Hungary (69%, +14pp), Romania

(58%, +11pp), Slovenia (82%, +11pp) and Finland (83%, +11pp). However, there were

declines in three Member States: the Netherlands (57%, -8pp), the UK (70%, -6pp) and

Italy (52%, -3pp).


38

A socio-demographic analysis shows that, while 64% of men regard themselves as

well-informed, only 60% of women do so.

Education is also a factor: 69% of people who studied until the age of 20 or above say

that they are well-informed, compared with 51% of respondents whose education ended

at age 15 or earlier.

Three-quarters of managers (75%) feel well-informed about environmental issues, but

only 53% of house persons and 56% of unemployed people feel well-informed.

Individuals who consider protecting the environment to be important are much more

likely to feel well-informed about environmental issues: 68% of those who believe it is

very important say they are well-informed, as opposed to just 31% of people who

consider it not important.

Two-thirds of people (67%) who say they are ready to buy environmentally-friendly

products feel well-informed, versus 47% of people who are not ready to buy this type of

product.


39

2. EUROPEAN CITIZENS LACK INFORMATION ABOUT SOME SPECIFIC

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

- The impact on health of chemicals used in everyday products is the issue on

which most people would like more information -

Respondents were then given a list of 14 environmental issues, and asked to pick the

main five about which they particularly lack information6.

Four out of ten respondents say that they lack information about the health impact of

chemicals used in everyday products (39%).

Roughly three out of ten people mention soil degradation (29%), the depletion of natural

resources (28%), the spread of harmful non-native plants and animals (28%), water

pollution (28%), agricultural pollution (28%) and air pollution (27%).

More than a fifth of respondents also identify as being among the five main issues the

loss or extinction of species (25%), the growing amount of waste (23%), shortages of

drinking water (22%) and land take (20%).

The issues mentioned least as top-five priorities were noise pollution (17%), our

consumption habits (15%) and urban problems (15%). Just 4% of people say

spontaneously that they lack information about none of these issues.

For this question, the list and number of issues presented to the respondents has been

modified compared to the previous survey. For this reason, results are not strictly

comparable. However, it can be noted that the results are very similar to those obtained

in 2011.




40

The following map illustrates the differences between Member States in the extent to

which respondents think they lack information about the health impact of chemicals used

in everyday products. People in Sweden (56%), Greece (49%), Cyprus (48%), the

Netherlands (48%) and Lithuania (48%) are the most likely to say that they lack

information about this issue, with those in Portugal (26%), Poland (27%) and Hungary

(28%) least likely to do so.


41

The health impact of chemicals used in everyday products is the top answer in all but

four Member States. In Portugal (39%), Romania (35%) and Poland (31%), air pollution

is the issue about which the most people feel they lack information. In Germany, the top

answer is the spread of harmful non-native plants and animals (43%).

Germany (42%) also has the highest proportion of respondents who mention soil

degradation, as well as land take (27%, equal highest with Austria and Finland). The

Netherlands (36%) has the highest proportion of respondents who say they lack

information about the depletion of natural resources, while Bulgaria, Ireland and Greece

(all 37%) jointly have the most people who mention water pollution. Cyprus (37%) has

the most respondents who think they lack information about agricultural pollution, and

Bulgaria and Portugal (both 39%) have the most respondents saying they lack

information about air pollution.

No relevant socio-demographic differences can be observed on this question.


42

3. USED AND TRUSTED SOURCES OF INFORMATION

3.1. Television news remains the main source of information for most

Europeans

- While television remains the main information source, the importance of the

Internet and social media is growing rapidly -

Next, respondents were asked to identify their three main sources of information about

the environment7.

Television news remains the main source of information about the environment, although

its use has declined substantially since 2011: 65% of respondents mention this, down

from 72% previously.

Social media and the Internet is the second most important information source: 41% of

people get their environmental information this way, up from 30% in 2011. This

combines the results for “the Internet” (35%) and “social media” (11%)8. Since these

were treated as one single item in the previous wave of the survey, they are analysed

together here to enable trend analysis.

Over three out of ten people cite newspapers (37%, -4pp) and films and documentaries

on television (30%, +1pp) as one of their main information sources, while over a fifth

mention the radio (23%, unchanged). Relatively few people say that their main sources

of information include conversations with relatives (13%, -3pp), magazines (12%, -1pp),

publications and brochures (9%, +1pp), books (6%, unchanged), or events (3%, -1pp).


possibility of giving several answers to the question. 8 For this question, the item “The Internet and social media” used in the previous survey has been split into

two different items “Social media” and “The Internet (other websites, blogs, forums, etc.)”. For comparability reasons, a subtotal “Social media and the Internet” is presented here. The total is not equal to the sum of both individual items, since several respondents mentioned both the Internet and social media and are thus not counted twice in the subtotal


43

The following map shows the geographical spread in terms of the proportion of

respondents who say that social media and the Internet are their main source of

information. Malta (53%), Latvia (53%), the Netherlands (53%), Estonia (52%), the

Czech Republic (49%), the UK (48%), Greece (47%) and Lithuania (47%) have the

highest proportions of people who cite social media and the Internet, while Portugal

(31%), Romania (32%), Bulgaria, Italy and Spain (all 37%) have the lowest proportions

of people who access information about the environment in this way.

All Member States have recorded an increase in the proportion of respondents who get

their information via social media and the Internet since 2011. In many cases, the

increases were substantial, such as in Greece (47%, +22pp), Cyprus (43%, +17pp),

Austria (41%, +16pp), the Czech Republic (49%, +15pp), Ireland (43%, +15pp), and

Portugal (31%, +15pp).


44

The increases in the proportion of Europeans who use social media and the Internet has

been matched in most individual countries by a decline in the proportion of people who

accessed information via television. At least 50% of people in all Member States still

mention the TV as their main information source, with results ranging from 83% in

Portugal and 80% in Bulgaria, to 50% in Luxembourg and 55% in France, Austria and

Poland. Yet there were declines in almost all countries compared to 2011, with the

largest falls being recorded in Greece (61%, -20pp), Luxembourg (50%, -12pp), Spain

(67%, -12pp), Bulgaria (80%, -11pp), Austria (55%, -10pp) and Poland (55%, -10pp).

There were also noticeable declines in the proportion of respondents who identify

newspapers as one of their main sources of information, especially in Bulgaria

(23%, -19pp), Ireland (45%, -11pp), and Italy (24%, -10pp).


45

Age appears to be the most important socio-demographic variable of differentiation on

this question. Unsurprisingly, people aged 15-24 are much more likely than those aged

55 and over to obtain their information from social media and the Internet, by a margin

of 66% to 20%. In contrast, older respondents are more likely to rely on traditional

media such as TV (73% vs. 53%), newspapers (45% vs. 24%) and the radio (27% vs.

16%).

Education is also a differentiating factor. People who finished their education aged 15 or

under (80%) are more likely than those who left education aged 20 or above (57%) to

rely on the television for their environmental information. However, those with a higher

level of education are much more likely to mention social media and the Internet as their

main information source (51% vs. 15%).

3.2. Scientists, television and NGOs are the most trusted sources of

information

- Scientists, environmental protection agencies and television are the most

trusted sources of environmental information -

Having discussed their main sources of environmental information, the respondents were

then asked to say which sources they trust the most9.

Over three out of ten respondents say they trust scientists (40%), environmental

protection associations (37%) and television (34%). Just under a fifth mention they trust

newspapers (19%), consumer associations (18%) and the Internet (18%).

Over a tenth of Europeans also express trust in international organisations (13%), the

radio (12%), teachers (12%) and relatives or friends (10%).




46

However, relatively few people trust magazines (8%), the European Union (7%), regional

or local government (6%), pro-environmental political parties (6%), the national

government (6%), social media (6%), trade unions (3%) or companies (2%).

For this question, the list and number of sources of information presented to the

respondents has been modified compared to the previous survey. For this reason, results

are not strictly comparable. However, it can be noted that the results are very similar to

those obtained in 2011.

The following map shows that trust in the environmental information provided by

scientists is highest in Sweden (69%), Greece (64%), Denmark (63%) and the

Netherlands (60%); and lowest in Romania (28%), Bulgaria (28%) and Poland (29%).


47


48

In three countries, over half of the respondents express trust in the information provided

by environmental protection agencies: Sweden (60%), Austria (56%) and Germany

(55%). Yet less than a quarter of people trust them in Romania (22%), Bulgaria,

Hungary, Poland and the UK (all 23%).


49

In three countries, over half of the respondents express trust in the environmental

information they see on TV: Romania (61%), Portugal (60%) and Bulgaria (56%). In

contrast, only a quarter of people trust information from this source in Croatia, Denmark,

Luxembourg and Spain (all 25%).


50

As the next table shows, scientists are the most trusted source of information in 18

Member States, environmental protection agencies are the most trusted source in three

countries (Austria, Germany and Slovenia), and television is the most trusted source in

the remaining seven countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania and

Slovakia).


51

The socio-demographic data show that age and education are once again important

variables.

Older respondents are more likely to trust traditional media such as television

(40% vs. 26% of 15-24 year-olds) and newspapers (22% vs. 15%), but 15-24 year-olds

are more likely than those aged 55 and over to trust scientists (44% vs. 35%) or the

Internet (25% vs. 10%).

Respondents who finished their education aged 20 or over are much more likely to trust

environmental protection agencies (45% vs. 27%) and scientists (51% vs. 25%) than

those who left school aged 15 or below. People in the latter group are more likely to trust

information obtained via television (47% vs. 25%).


IV. FOR MOST EUROPEANS, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES HAVE A

DIRECT IMPACT ON THEIR DAILY LIFE AND ON THE

ECONOMY

This section of the report deals with how respondents consider that the environment

relates to their own daily life. In particular, they were asked to consider how the state of

the environment impacts on their lives, as compared to social and economic factors.

Respondents were also asked whether the environment and the efficient use of natural

resources can boost economic growth, and whether environmental criteria should be

factored in when assessing national progress.

1. THE ECONOMY AND THE ENVIRONMENT ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO

EUROPEANS’ QUALITY OF LIFE

- Three-quarters of people think that the state of the environment influences

their quality of life -

Respondents were asked the extent to which three different factors, including the state

of the environment, influence their quality of life.

Eight out of ten people (80%, -5pp compared to 2011) say that economic factors

influence their quality of life. Less than a fifth (18%, +4pp) say that these factors do not

influence them.

Three-quarters of respondents (75%, -2pp) think the state of the environment influences

their quality of life. Just under a quarter of people (23%, +1pp) do not agree with this.

Over seven out of ten people (71%, -4pp) think that social factors influence their quality

of life, whereas just over a quarter (26%, +3pp) do not.


53

At country level, the proportion of respondents who say that economic factors influence

their quality of life ranges from 98% in Greece and 97% in Bulgaria, to 62% in Germany

and 71% in Austria. While there was a noticeable increase in Luxembourg (80%, +7pp

since 2011) in terms of the proportion of respondents who feel that economic factors

influence their quality of life, there were declines in most Member States. These declines

were largest in Germany (62%, -13pp) and Austria (71%, -10pp).

The proportion of respondents who feel that the state of the environment influences their

quality of life ranges from 91% in Greece and 87% in Malta, to 62% in Germany and

66% in Ireland. Only Portugal (83%, +11pp) and Lithuania (80%, +9pp) recorded

sizeable increases since 2011 in the proportion of respondents who agree that the state

of the environment influences their quality of life. Conversely, Ireland (66%, -9pp) and

Poland (72%, -8pp) registered the largest declines.

Finally, the proportion of respondents who believe that social factors influence their

quality of life ranges from 90% in Bulgaria and Denmark to 50% in Germany and 62% in

France. In Portugal, an increase (82%, +5pp) in the proportion of respondents who

agree that social factors influence their quality of life went against the overall trend, with

declines occurring in most countries compared to 2011. The biggest drops occurred in

Austria (69%, -11pp), Poland (68%, -11pp) and the Netherlands (79%, -10pp).

The socio-demographic data show that, when it comes to the state of the

environment, 40-54 year-olds (79%) are the most likely to say that this influences their

quality of life, while 15-24 year-olds are the least likely to do so (71%).


54

People with a higher level of education are also more inclined to say that the state of the

environment influences their quality of life: 81% of people who left education aged 20

and over say this, compared to 71% of those who left aged 15 or under.

While 84% of respondents who think that protecting the environment is very important

say that the state of the environment influences their quality of life, only 33% of

respondents who think it is not important say this.


55

2. A LARGE MAJORITY BELIEVE THAT PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT CAN

BOOST ECONOMIC GROWTH

- There is widespread agreement among Europeans that protecting the

environment can boost economic growth -

After considering which factors have an impact on their own quality of life, respondents

were then asked whether the protection of the environment can boost economic growth

in the EU.

A strong majority of people (74%, -3pp compared to 2011) agree that the protection of

the environment can boost economic growth. Of these, 29% totally agree that it can, and

45% tend to agree.

Just 16% (unchanged) do not agree with this statement, with 13% tending to disagree

and 3% totally disagreeing. A tenth (10%, +3pp) don’t know.


56

The following map shows the evolution of this perception since 2011, in the different

Member States. The highest increases since 2011 in the proportion of respondents who

agree that the protection of the environment can boost economic growth occurred in

Portugal (89%, +12pp) and Slovenia (84%, +6pp). Cyprus and Greece (88%) also have

high levels of agreement on this point. But elsewhere, there were large declines in the

proportion of people who agree with this idea, especially in Austria (64%, -14pp), Estonia

(53%, -11pp) and Germany (61%, -9pp).


57

According to the socio-demographic data, people with a higher level of education are

more likely to agree that the protection of the environment can boost economic growth in

the EU: 78% of people who left education aged 20 and over say this, compared to 69%

of those who left aged 15 or under.

While 80% of respondents who think that protecting the environment is very important

agree that the protection of the environment can boost economic growth, this falls to

41% among those who think protecting the environment is not important.


58

3. A LARGE MAJORITY OF EUROPEANS THINK THAT USING NATURAL

RESOURCES EFFICIENTLY CAN BOOST ECONOMIC GROWTH

- Nearly eight out of ten people agree that the efficient use of natural resources

can boost economic growth in the EU -

Next, respondents were asked whether the efficient use of natural resources can boost

economic growth in the EU.

A sizable majority of people (79%, -4pp compared to 2011) agree that the efficient use

of natural resources can boost economic growth. Of these, 33% totally agree and 46%

tend to agree.

Just 12% of respondents (+2pp) do not agree with the statement, with 9% tending to

disagree and 3% totally disagreeing. Just under a tenth of people (9%, +2pp) don’t

know.


59

The following map clearly shows that there has been a decrease in almost all countries

since 2011 in the proportion of respondents who agree that the efficient use of natural

resources can boost economic growth. Only Portugal (91%, +11pp) reported a

substantial increase in the level of agreement, although the overall level of agreement is

also still high in Greece (91%) and Cyprus (88%). The largest declines occurred in

Austria (71%, -11pp), Bulgaria (82%, -9pp), and the UK (75%, -9pp), while Finland

(65%), Austria, Estonia and Germany (all 71%) have the lowest overall levels of

agreement.


60

The socio-demographic data show that individuals with a higher level of education are

more likely to agree that the efficient use of natural resources can boost economic

growth in the EU: 83% of people who left education aged 20 and over agree with this, as

opposed to 72% of those who left school aged 15 or under.

While 84% of people who say that protecting the environment is very important agree

that the efficient use of natural resources can boost economic growth, only 56% of those

who think protecting the environment is not important say the same thing.


61

4. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL FACTORS ARE AS IMPORTANT FOR

MEASURING NATIONAL PROGRESS AS ECONOMIC FACTORS

- Most respondents think that social, economic and environmental factors

should all be considered when measuring national progress -

Lastly in this section, respondents were asked which criteria should be used to measure

progress in their country10.

A majority of respondents (59%, +4pp compared to 2011) say that equal emphasis

should be placed on social and environmental criteria and on economic criteria. More

people (20%, +2pp) favour mainly social and environmental criteria than mainly

economic criteria such as GDP (14% -1pp). Just 7% (-5pp) say they don’t know.

In all Member States, with one exception, half or more of respondents think that when

measuring progress, equal emphasis should be placed on social and environmental

criteria and on economic criteria. Finland and Germany (both 69%) have the highest

proportions of respondents who take this view. Bulgaria is the exception, with 48%,

followed by Hungary (50%).

Compared to 2011, there have been substantial increases in the proportion of people

who think that equal emphasis should be placed on social and environmental criteria and

on economic criteria.

10 This question was slightly modified since the last wave in 2011. The 2011 question asked: “Thinking about

ways of evaluating progress in (OUR COUNTRY), which of the following ways do you think is the best way to do this? Possible responses: “National progress should be evaluated based mostly on economic criteria, such as GDP (Growth Domestic Product)”; “National progress should be evaluated based equally on social and environmental and economic criteria”; “National progress should be evaluated based mostly on social and environmental criteria”).


62

Spain (61%, +15pp), Romania (55%, +11pp), Germany (69%, +8pp) and Ireland

(56%, +8pp) recorded the biggest changes. However, there were also some noticeable

declines, particularly in Hungary (50%, -12pp) and France (54%, -6pp).

Austria and Italy (both 26%) have the most respondents who say that progress should

be measured using mainly social and environmental criteria. There were sizeable

increases in the proportion of people who take this view compared to 2011 in Romania

(19%, +9pp), France (25%, +7pp) and Hungary (22%, +7pp).

Slovenia (26%) and Bulgaria (25%) have the highest proportions of respondents who

think that think their country should refer mainly to economic criteria, such as GDP,

when measuring progress. Slovakia (23%, +6pp), Hungary (23%, +5pp) and Malta

(20%, +5pp) recorded the largest increases in the proportion of people who support this

approach, while Luxembourg (8%, -5pp) saw the biggest decline.


63

The socio-demographic data show that men are more inclined than women

(16% vs. 11%) to think that progress should be judged mainly according to economic

criteria, such as GDP.

Respondents who left education aged 20 and over are more likely than those who left

school aged 15 or under to think that their country’s progress should be measured

equally on social and environmental criteria and on economic criteria, by a margin of

65% to 51%.

While 61% of individuals who regard protecting the environment as very important think

that their country’s progress should be measured equally on social and environmental

criteria and on economic criteria, only 42% of people who say protecting the

environment is not important think progress should be measured in this way.


64

V. EUROPEANS STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT MORE NEEDS TO BE

DONE AT ALL LEVELS TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

The fifth chapter of the report looks at the extent to which Europeans feel that they

themselves, as well as other members of society (such as government and the private

sector), have a responsibility to protect the environment.

They were first asked whether national governments should favour environmentally-

friendly options when spending public money, and whether big polluters should be

responsible for repairing the damage. Respondents were then asked whether other levels

of government should also be expected to do these things, and also how Europe might

most effectively tackle its environmental problems.

1. FOR A LARGE MAJORITY, CORPORATIONS AND INDUSTRY, NATIONAL

GOVERNMENTS AND CITIZENS ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE

ENVIRONMENT

- There is a strong consensus that big companies, national governments and

individual citizens are not doing enough to protect the environment -

A substantial majority of people (77%, -2pp compared to 2011) feel that big companies

and industry are not doing enough to protect the environment. Only a tiny minority

(1%, -1pp) think they are doing too much, while 15% (+1pp) say they are doing about

the right amount.

Seven out of ten people (70%, -2pp) think that their national government is not doing

enough to protect the environment. Again, only a tiny minority (1%, -1pp) thinks that it

is doing too much, while just over a fifth (21%, +1pp) say that their government is doing

about the right amount.

Roughly two-thirds of respondents (65%, -4pp) believe that citizens themselves are not

doing enough to protect the environment. Just 2% of people (unchanged) think that they

are doing too much, while nearly three out of ten (29%, +4pp) say that citizens

themselves are doing about the right amount.


65

The proportion of respondents who think that big companies and industry are not doing

enough ranges from 94% in Greece, 89% in Spain and 88% in Croatia, to 61% in Estonia

and 62% in Denmark. Sweden (80%, +7pp) and Italy (80%, +3pp) recorded the only

noticeable increases, while Hungary (68%, -14pp), Estonia (61%, -11pp) and Latvia

(70%, -10pp) registered the biggest declines.

The proportion of respondents who think that big companies and industry are doing

about the right amount to protect the environment remains low, averaging 15% and

ranging from 28% in Denmark and 24% in Hungary to just 4% in Greece and 6% in both

Croatia and Spain. There has, however, been an increase in most Member States in the

proportion of people who think that big companies and industry are doing about the right

amount, with the biggest increases occurring in Hungary (24%, +11pp), Lithuania (19%,

+7pp) and Austria (15%, +7pp). Sweden (13%, -9pp) and Italy (10%, -6pp) bucked the

trend by registering sizeable declines.


66

The proportion of people who think that citizens themselves are not doing enough ranges

from 80% in Croatia and 79% in Malta, to 53% in Germany and 55% in Poland. Malta

(79%, +6pp) recorded the only noticeable increase, while the Netherlands

(70%, -13pp), Bulgaria (74%, -13pp) and Poland (55%, -13pp) saw the biggest declines.

The proportion of respondents who think that citizens themselves are doing about the

right amount to protect the environment averages 29% and ranges from 41% in

Germany and 36% in both Portugal and Slovakia, to 16% in Croatia and 18% in both

France and Malta.


67

However, there has been a sizeable increase in most Member States since 2011 in the

proportion of people who think that citizens themselves are doing about the right

amount, with the biggest increases occurring in the Netherlands (26%, +14pp), Greece

(28%, +12pp), Bulgaria (19%, +11pp), Luxembourg (34%, +11pp), Poland (35%,

+11pp) and Estonia (33%, +10pp).

The proportion of respondents who think that their national government is doing about

the right amount to protect the environment averages 21% and ranges from 52% in

Malta and 42% in Denmark, to 7% in Greece and 9% in Spain. Since 2011, there has

been a big increase in many Member States in the proportion of people who think their

national government is doing about the right amount, with the biggest increases

occurring in Malta (52%, +21pp), Hungary (39%, +17pp), Lithuania (25%, +14pp) and

the Netherlands (31%, +11pp). Italy (10%, -9pp) recorded the largest decline.


68

The proportion of respondents who think that their national government is not doing

enough remains high, ranging from 91% in Greece and 86% in Croatia and Spain, to

40% in Malta and 50% in Luxembourg. Italy (83%, +9pp) and Portugal (69%, +7pp)

were among the few countries to record increases on this question; most saw declines,

especially Hungary (52%, -21pp), Malta (40%, -17pp), and Lithuania (67%, -17pp).


69

The socio-demographic data show that women are somewhat more inclined than men

to say that the various parties under discussion are not doing enough to protect the

environment. For example, 72% of women, compared with 69% of men, say that their

national government is not doing enough.

Respondents aged 40-54 are the most likely to feel that their national government is not

doing enough (75%), compared to 63% of those aged 15-24.

About three-quarters of the self-employed, unemployed people and other white collar

workers (all 73%) believe that their national government is not doing enough, compared

to 69% of retired respondents and 66% of students.


70

1.1. A majority of Europeans believe that national governments’ spending

should favour environmentally-friendly considerations over cost

considerations

- A majority of Europeans think public authorities should favour

environmentally-friendly considerations over cost considerations in spending

decisions -

When given two statements relating to the spending and investment of public authorities,

nearly six out of ten respondents (59%) agree that, in their country, public authorities

should favour environmentally-friendly considerations over cost considerations.

Conversely, around a fifth (21%) feel that cost considerations should be favoured over

environmental considerations. 13% of people say spontaneously that neither should be

given special priority.


71

The level of support for this approach varies substantially across Member States, from

78% in Slovenia and 76% in Cyprus, to 36% in Poland and 44% in Romania. Portugal

(31%), Belgium (30%) and Poland (30%) have the most respondents who think that

cost considerations should be favoured above environmentally-friendly considerations.

The Netherlands (21%) has the highest proportion of people who say spontaneously that

neither should be given special priority, followed by Poland (18%).


72

The socio-demographic results suggest that men are somewhat more inclined than

women to think that cost considerations should be favoured above environmentally-

friendly considerations, by a margin of 24% to 19%.

Education is a particularly important factor, with people who finished their education

aged 20 or over more likely than those who left school aged 15 or under to think that

public authorities should favour environmentally-friendly considerations over cost

considerations (64% vs. 49%).

While two-thirds of people (67%) who think that protecting the environment is important

say that the authorities should prioritise environmentally-friendly considerations over

cost considerations, only 25% of people who do not think that protecting the

environment is important agree.


73

1.2. Europeans believe that big polluters should be responsible for 'making

good' for damage

- Almost all Europeans agree that big polluters have primary responsibility for

repairing the damage they cause -

Seven out of ten respondents (70%) totally agree that big polluters should be mainly

responsible for making good the environmental damage they cause, while 23% tend to

agree – making for 93% agreement overall. Just 5% of respondents do not think that big

polluters should be mainly responsible.

For this question, the wording has been modified compared to the previous survey in

2011. While the results are not strictly comparable, it is worth noting that in 2011, 91%

of respondents agreed that “the big polluters should be mainly responsible for protecting

the environment”.

At individual country level, overall agreement that big polluters should be mainly

responsible for making good the environmental damage they cause ranges from 98% in

both Croatia and Slovenia, to 89% in Hungary. Total agreement ranges from 82% in

Bulgaria, Spain and Sweden, to 61% in Hungary. Hungary (10%) is the only Member

State where at least a tenth of respondents do not agree that the big polluters should be

made responsible for the damage they cause.


74

While the socio-demographic data show strong overall agreement in all groups, there

is more variation when it comes to the extent to which respondents totally agree that the

big polluters should be mainly responsible for making good the environmental damage

they cause.

For example, 76% of people aged 55 and over, but only 57% of those aged 15-24,

totally agree with the statement.

Over three-quarters of people (78%) who feel that protecting the environment is very

important totally agree, as opposed to 50% of those who do not feel that protecting the

environment is important.

2. TO A LESSER EXTENT, THE EUROPEAN UNION AS WELL AS REGIONAL AND

LOCAL INSTITUTIONS SHOULD ALSO DO MORE TO PROTECT THE

ENVIRONMENT

- Over half of Europeans think the European Union is not doing enough to

protect the environment -

The focus now shifts to the question of whether certain institutions are doing enough to

protect the environment.

A majority of people think that the European Union (56%, -7pp compared to 2011) is not

doing enough. 3% (unchanged) think it is doing too much, while nearly a quarter (23%,

+1pp) say that it is doing about the right amount. 18% of respondents (+6pp) say they

don’t know whether the EU is doing enough.

Half of respondents (50%) think that their region is not doing enough to protect the

environment. Only 1% of people think their region is doing too much, while over a third

(37%) think that it is doing about the right amount. 12% of respondents don’t know.

Just under half of Europeans (48%) think that their city, town or village is not doing

enough to protect the environment, 2% of people think they are doing too much, while

43% think that they are doing about the right amount. Just 7% of respondents say they

don’t know.

These last two items were not evaluated in the previous wave of the survey.


75

The Member States in which respondents are most likely to think that the European

Union is doing about the right amount to protect the environment are Malta (49%),

Hungary (48%), Poland (47%), Cyprus (42%) and Lithuania (40%). Elsewhere, a

majority of people feel that the EU is not doing enough, with Sweden (76%), Austria

(70%), Germany (67%) and Spain (67%) having the most respondents who take this

view.

Compared to 2011, there were substantial increases in Malta (49%, +14pp), Hungary

(48%, +10pp), Lithuania (40%, +9pp) and Ireland (28%, +8pp) in terms of the

proportion of respondents who think the European Union is doing about the right amount

to protect the environment. But there were also declines, especially in Cyprus (42%,

-12pp) and Slovakia (36%, -10pp).

In most countries, there were sizeable declines in the proportion of people who feel that

the EU is not doing enough, notably in Hungary (34%, -16pp), Lithuania (37%, -16pp),

Latvia (42%, -15pp) and the Netherlands (53%, -13pp).


76


77

In 17 countries, a majority of respondents think that their city, town or village is doing

about the right amount. Austria (58%), Luxembourg (58%), the Czech Republic (56%)

and Denmark (56%) have the highest proportions of people who say this.

But in the other 11 countries, a majority of people believe that their city, town or village

is not doing enough to protect the environment. Greece (73%) has the most people who

take this view, followed by Croatia (69%) and Spain (68%).


78

In 10 Member States, a majority of respondents think that their region is doing about the

right amount to protect the environment. Austria (57%), Estonia (50%), the Czech

Republic (50%) and Germany (50%) have the highest proportions of people who take

this view.

But in the other 18 countries, a majority of people say that their region is not doing

enough to protect the environment. Greece (77%) again has the most people who feel

this way, followed by Croatia (74%), Spain (72%) and Italy (71%).


79

According to the socio-demographic data, 40-54 year-olds (60%) are the most likely

to feel that the European Union is not doing enough to protect the environment, while

15-24 year-olds (47%) are the least inclined to think this. 40-54 year-olds are also the

most likely to say that their region, and also their city, town or village, is not doing

enough.

While 59% of people who believe that protecting the environment is very important say

that the EU is not doing enough, only 50% of those who think protecting the

environment is not important say this.


80

3. EUROPEANS’ VIEWS ON THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS OF DEALING WITH

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

- Introducing heavier fines for offenders is seen as the most effective approach

in terms of tackling environmental problems -

Lastly in this chapter, respondents were asked to identify the most effective ways of

tackling environmental problems11.

Four out of ten people (40%) think that introducing heavier fines for offenders would be

the most effective approach, while at least three out of ten people mention ensuring

higher financial incentives for protecting the environment (33%), providing more

information on environmental issues (31%), and ensuring better enforcement of existing

legislation (30%).

A quarter of respondents (25%) think that introducing stricter environmental legislation

would be effective, while 18% are in favour of the introduction or increasing of taxation

on environmentally damaging activities.

For this question, the list and number of possible ways presented to the respondents has

been modified compared to the previous survey and the results are thus not strictly

comparable. However, it can be noted that “introducing heavier fines for offenders” was

also seen as the most effective approach in 2011, when 36% of respondents mentioned

it.




81

Over half of respondents in the Czech Republic (58%) and Bulgaria (52%) say that the

introduction of heavier fines would be an effective way of tackling environmental

problems, compared with just 20% in Sweden and 26% in both Finland and the

Netherlands.

Introducing heavier fines for offenders is considered the most effective way to tackle

environmental problems in 14 Member States.

Ensuring higher financial incentives for industries, businesses or citizens who protect the

environment is the most-favoured approach in six countries: Denmark (57%), Sweden

(56%), the Netherlands (54%), Latvia (47%), Slovenia (47%) and Austria (38%).

Providing more information on environmental issues is thought to be the most effective

way to tackle environmental problems in six Member States: Finland (48%), Cyprus

(47%), Ireland (44%), Croatia (41%), Estonia (41%) and the UK (39%).

People in Malta (46%) think that properly enforcing existing legislation is the most

effective approach, while those in Hungary (38%) think that introducing stricter

legislation is the best way to tackle environmental problems.


82

The socio-demographic data shows that 15-24 year-olds (39%) are the most likely to

think that providing more information on environmental issues is the best way to tackle

environmental problems, while people aged 55 and over (29%) are the least likely.

However, people in the latter group are more likely than 15-24 year-olds to favour

introducing heavier fines for offenders, by a margin of 44% to 34%.

Respondents who left education aged 15 or under are more likely than those who left

aged 20 or over to say that introducing heavier fines for offenders would be effective

(47% vs. 35%), while those in the latter group are more likely to be in favour of

ensuring higher financial incentives for industries, businesses or citizens who protect the

environment (38% vs. 24%).


83

VI. EUROPEANS FAVOUR ACTION AT EU LEVEL TO PROTECT THE

ENVIRONMENT

In the final chapter of the report, the focus turns to possible action to address Europe’s

environmental problems. Respondents were asked whether environmental decisions

should be taken by national governments or by the European Union. They also

mentioned whether there needs to be EU legislation to address these issues, and whether

the EU should play a greater role in a range of areas to boost Europe’s environmental

standards.

1. A MAJORITY OF EUROPEANS THINK THAT DECISIONS CONCERNING THE

ENVIRONMENT SHOULD BE MADE NOT ONLY AT NATIONAL LEVEL BUT

JOINTLY WITHIN THE EU

- Most Europeans think that decisions to protect the environment should be

taken jointly by national governments and the EU -

Six out of ten respondents (60%, -4pp compared with 2011) think that environmental

decisions should be taken jointly between national governments and the EU. Around one

third (36%, +4pp) believe that only the national government should take such decisions.


84

In most Member States, a majority of respondents think that environmental decisions

should not be taken at national level only, but rather jointly within the EU. Spain (77%)

has the highest proportion of respondents who take this view, followed by Portugal

(76%), Belgium (73%) and Cyprus (70%).

In five countries, a majority of people say that these decisions should be taken by the

national government: Lithuania (61% national only, vs. 37% joint), the Czech Republic

(56% vs. 42%), Finland (56% vs. 42%), Estonia (54% vs. 44%) and the UK (50% vs.

45%).

Despite being in the latter group, the UK (45%, +5pp) recorded the largest increase in

the proportion of respondents who think that these decisions should be taken jointly at

European and national levels. However, in most other countries there was a decline in

the proportion of people who take this view, with the biggest declines happening in

Lithuania (37%, -24pp), the Czech Republic (42%, -14pp), Estonia (44%, -12pp),

Slovakia (56%, -11pp), Luxembourg (61%, -11pp) and Cyprus (70%, -11pp).


85

According to the socio-demographic data, 15-24 year-olds (67%) are the most

inclined to say that environmental decisions should be taken jointly, while people aged

55 and over (53%) are the least likely to say this.

People who finished their education aged 20 or over are more likely than those who left

school aged 15 or under to think that enviromental decisions should be taken jointly, by

a margin of 64% to 51%.

While 70% of students and 66% of managers believe that enviromental decisions should

be taken jointly, only 52% of retired people say this.

Individuals who feel that protecting the environment is very important are more inclined

than those who do not to say that enviromental decisions should be taken jointly, by a

margin of 62% to 46%.


86


87

2. EUROPEANS’ VIEWS ON MEASURES RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAW IN

THE EU

Lastly, respondents were asked to agree or disagree with four statements relating to

environmental law in the EU.

Over three-quarters of respondents (77%, -4pp compared to 2011) agree that European

environmental legislation is necessary for protecting the environment in their country. Of

these, 36% (-2pp) totally agree, and 41% (-2pp) tend to agree. 16% (+3pp) do not

agree, of which 11% tend to disagree and 5% totally disagree.

Nearly eight out of ten respondents (79%, no comparison possible) agree the EU should

be able to check that environmental laws are being applied correctly in their country. Of

these, 40% totally agree, and 39% tend to agree. 16% do not agree, of which 10% tend

to disagree and 6% totally disagree.

Just under three-quarters of respondents (74%, -5pp compared to 2011) say that the EU

should assist non-EU countries to improve their environmental standards. Of these, 34%

(-1pp) totally agree, and 40% (-4pp) tend to agree. A fifth of respondents (20%, +4pp)

do not agree, of which 12% tend to disagree and 8% totally disagree.

Over eight out of ten respondents (84%, -5pp compared to 2011) believe that more EU

funding should be allocated to supporting environmentally-friendly activities. Of these,

42% (unchanged) totally agree, and 42% (-5pp) tend to agree. A tenth of respondents

(10%, +3pp) do not agree.


88

2.1. European legislation on environmental matters is a necessity

- In most countries, there has been a small decline in the level of support for

European legislation to protect the environment -

More than seven out of ten (77%) of respondents agree that European environmental

legislation is necessary for protecting the environment in their country, with support

ranging from 92% in Cyprus and 88% in both Portugal and Spain, to 61% in Austria,

65% in Finland and 66% in the UK. Slovenia (81%, +6pp) is the only country where

there was a substantial increase in the proportion of people in favour: there were slight

declines in most other countries, and larger declines in Hungary (77%, -14pp), Finland

(65%, -13pp) and Estonia (76%, -13pp).


89

The socio-demographic data shows that young respondents are somewhat more likely

to support European environmental legislation for protecting the environment in their

country: 80% of 15-24 year-olds do so, compared with 73% of people aged 55 and over.

More highly educated individuals are also slightly more likely to support this idea, with

78% of people who left education aged 20 or over supporting it, compared with 71% of

those who left school aged 15 or below.

While 80% of people who think protecting the environment is very important support

European environmental legislation that would do this in their country, only 56% of

people who do not think it is important back the idea of legislation.

2.2. The EU needs to check that environmental laws are respected in the

Member States

- In all countries, most people agree the EU should be able to check that

environmental laws are being applied correctly in individual Member States -

The proportion of respondents who agree the EU should be able to check that

environmental laws are being applied correctly in their country ranges from 92% in

Cyprus and 91% in Spain, to 59% in Denmark and 66% in the UK. In five countries, half

or more of the respondents totally agree with this: Cyprus (70%), Spain (65%), Bulgaria

(55%), Slovenia (51%) and Ireland (50%).


90

The socio-demographic data shows that young respondents are more likely to agree

with the proposed idea: 84% of 15-24 year-olds say the EU should be able to check that

environmental laws are being applied correctly in their country, versus 73% of people

aged 55 and over.

More highly educated individuals are also more likely to agree, with 80% of people who

left education aged 20 or over supporting the proposal, compared with 72% of those who

left school aged 15 or below.

While 82% of people who think protecting the environment is very important say that the

EU should be able to check that environmental laws are being applied correctly in their

country, only 59% of people who do not think it is important support this.


91

2.3. More EU funding should be allocated for environmentally-friendly

activities and developments

- Strong majorities of people in all countries think that more EU funding should

be allocated to supporting environmentally-friendly activities -

The proportion of respondents who think that more EU funding should be allocated to

supporting environmentally-friendly activities ranges from 97% in Cyprus and 95% in

Slovenia, to 75% in the Netherlands and 80% in France, Luxembourg and the UK.

Ireland (90%, +4pp) is the only country where there was a noticeable increase since

2011 in the proportion of people who support this idea. In most other countries, there

were declines, especially in Hungary (81%, -13pp), Bulgaria (88%, -8pp), Estonia (84%,

-7pp), France (80%, -7pp), Luxembourg (80%, -7pp) and Austria (82%, -7pp).


92

The socio-demographic differences are quite limited on this question. However, while

88% of people who think that protecting the environment is very important think that

more EU funding should be allocated to supporting environmentally-friendly activities,

only 61% of people who do not think it is important agree.


93

2.4. The EU should assist non-EU countries to improve their environmental

standards

- There are very high levels of support in all countries for the idea of helping

non-EU countries to improve their environmental standards -

Lastly, the proportion of respondents who think that the EU should assist non-EU

countries to improve their environmental standards ranges from 88% in Cyprus and 87%

in both Greece and Sweden, to 63% in Estonia and 64% in France. Almost all Member

States recorded declines since 2011 in the proportion of respondents who say that the

EU should assist non-EU countries in this way, with the biggest falls occurring in France

(64%, -14pp), Hungary (75%, -13pp), Bulgaria (70%, -12pp), and Estonia

(63%, -12pp).


94

The socio-demographic data again show that education is the most important variable

here: 77% of people who left education aged 20 or over think that the EU should assist

non-EU countries to improve their environmental standards, but only 67% of those who

left school aged 15 or under do so.

In terms of socio-professional differences, 80% of managers support this idea, versus

70% of house persons and retirees.

Over three-quarters of people (77%) who think protecting the environment is very

important think that the EU should assist non-EU countries to improve their

environmental standards, as opposed to 54% of people who do not think it is important.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS


TS1

SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 416 Attitudes of European citizens towards the environment

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Between the 26th April and the 11th of May 2014, TNS opinion & social, a consortium created between TNS political & social, TNS UK and TNS opinion, carried out the wave 81.3 of the EUROBAROMETER survey, on request of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General for Communication, “Strategy, Corporate Communication Actions and Eurobarometer” unit. The SPECIAL EUROBAROMETER 416 is part of the wave 81.3 and covers the population of the respective nationalities of the 28 European Union Member States, resident in each of the Member States and aged 15 years and over. The basic sample design applied in all states is a multi-stage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points was drawn with probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density. In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points, a starting address was drawn, at random. Further addresses (every Nth address) were selected by standard "random route" procedures, from the initial address. In each household, the respondent was drawn, at random (following the "closest birthday rule"). All interviews were conducted face-to-face in people's homes and in the appropriate national language. As far as the data capture is concerned, CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) was used in those countries where this technique was available. For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. For all countries surveyed, a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. In all countries, gender, age, region and size of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages), TNS Opinion & Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national statistic offices. The total population figures for input in this post-weighting procedure are listed below.
